Technology will never replace great teachers, but technology in the hands of great teachers is transformational.
~George Couros
WELCOME!
I am about to begin my second year as a secondary technology coach-and it is a very exciting time for technology in Ken-Ton!
Some of you may be asking yourself...What is the role of a technology coach?
As I work with teachers I will focus on content and instruction to help integrate technology into the curriculum. It can be based on teacher goals and/or instructional outcomes. In other words, I will work with teachers to develop technology-enhanced lessons and instruction, while providing job-embedded, real-time professional development.
I look forward to working with many of you in your classrooms!
